Both teams lost but the biggest loser was hurling in general. Puke hurling will soon have 15 men behind each 65 with a high wide count and possession hurling

You also thought galway would beat wexford by 6 to 10...... how'd that go?? I also see you tipped against limerick again for Sunday of course you're entitled to your opinion. It must have really really hurt you last yr to lose to Limerick as you obviously have some issue with us maybe you should speak with someone re you're prejudices

Right. Lets discuss Offaly in 1994. I attended every match Offaly and Limerick played in that year. Now I have no hesitation in saying Offaly were the best team in that championship. They played Kilkenny in the Leinster Semi Final. In the first fifteen KK were cruising and were eight points up. Offaly introduced big Daithi Regan to midfield and in the twinkling of an eye the whole scene turned on its head. By half time Kilkenny were fifteen points down, but they had half the match left to rectify the situation. They reduced the deficit to eight points at the end, but they never looked like overhauling Offaly. In the Leinster Final Wexford were holding their own, when an absolute cracker by John Troy turned the whole trend of the game and again the situation was irretrievable. They also took out a very fine Galway side, that had ran KK very close and beaten Tipp well the previous year. So like every team that ever won an All Ireland Offaly were worthy champions in 1994. And remember they destroyed KK on a very wet day in the Leinster Final of 95.

Poolsturgeon My friend nobody takes any notice, least of all county county selectors, of what goes on in Hogan stand. It is all a bit of banter. This whole tread has been set up by a ballhopper and is an invitation to nonsensical discourse, involving auld curmudgeons, like myself, who have nothing else to do except attempt to 'rise' other auld codgers. Any of us should not take ourselves too seriously- I certainly dont. As regards the two games argument I might however say if Limerick had won the 74 Final they would have played only three games, the same Galway would have played in 81. They played four games in 73, but one was against London. We were in the final in 80 and only played three matches., with a full six weeks break after the Munster Final. So I am not convinced that playing in a Provincial was big advantage as people make out. The six weeks break thing was a pure joke anyway.

Brisbane has never recovered from having a Tipperary Cardinal (Dunne) followed by a Limerick one (Duhig).

Are you stalking me lol! Most of the country predicted Galway against Wexford so no worries there as Galway are plodding along quietly waiting for the big fish in Croke Park later!! I did get Cork to beat ye but sorry I didn't go for 6-10 Ha!

Lads, several posts here had nothing to say about what was perceived as puke hurling between Galway and Wexford. The posts that did mention Galway and Wexford failed to mention the appalling conditions that both teams had to endure during the game. The strong wind did not account for every error and wide but it certainly did not help. Let's not write off teams on the basis of one performance in less than ideal conditions.

Not much more to discuss on this match lad. Or on the puke guy from out West. Ive noticed though that supporters of the big 3 winners of Liam are few and far between on the Forums. I guess all of us from so called lesser counties must have more to say because we ve all been bridesmaids for too long.......

Re Galway sorry genuinely don't see ye doing anything this yr canning or no canning on board this isn't a dig at anyone from galway its my genuine opinion and before people come back saying Limerick are this and that I do accept its very possible we won't be doing much either but obviously hope we will

That's fair enough...but I still believe Galway will be in the last 4 and sure anything can happen from there!

Wexford posters are in denial of the puke hurling davy has them playing. Daly also brought it to Dublin when he was in charge so the clare boys have a lot to answer for

So direct it at him as an individual, as I said, instead of generalising a whole county.

Whoa !!!! Stall the digger . You're losing the run of yourself there . You're talking about a group of players some of whom have played in five All Ireland finals since 2012 if you include the replay that year . They gave a very good account of themselves in four of those five finals. In 2015,2016 and 2017 they were involved in three epic semi finals against a cracking Tipp side two of which they won. Your own county has managed to play in five All Ireland finals since your last win in 1973 and you have also only won one of those five. You slag off Galway's performance in last years final. That team was running on fumes after last years drawn Leinster Final and understandably so given what they had done in 2017. They had nothing left in the tank yet they still managed to drag themselves to within a point of an All Ireland through sheer will to win despite the fact that a lot of the team have been there for at least seven years. Let's see if Limerick defend their title this year as well as Galway defended theirs last year. I'm not posting this out of disrespect for the Limerick hurlers whom I admire greatly . Maybe you could show the same respect to a group of Galway hurlers who have given immense enjoyment to many sports fans the length and breadth of the country.

For years the old system was the reason Galway got to so many finals, loads of the finals they got there without facing any of the serious teams. Most of the finals they got to back then was not on merit but due to a system system which gave them an easy path to the final (1 in 3 years they got to a final without playing a serious team in Munster or Leinster). It is for this reason quoting their 'bad' record in finals under the old system as if they performed badly in those finals is ridiculous, they performed as expected in most of those finals. Up until the 1980's Galway were just not a very strong hurling team. It was almost a bit like when the GAA used some years used to play an 'away' League final in New York.

Would you rather your team played like some great teams you had in the 90s and 00s that won nothing and were everyones favourite second team because of it?

TBF Galway always played either the Munster or Leinster Champs before getting to the final, before the new system cam in the late 90's. Not sure where you got the 1 in 3 idea?
